The problems of cell phones in the office
January 12, 2009 By: almostgotit Category: cell phones, humor, office etiquetteA friend Facebooked today re being startled by an office-mate’s cell phone, with a ring tone that sounded like a rooster crowing.
One can only guess at all the potential hazards of being exposed to wild ring tones in a crowded office setting. What about a phone that screams? Or even farts? Perhaps we need some sort of legislation…

Oh no. Perish the very thought.
(If someone now invents a farting cell phone, IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT.)
Cock-a-doodle-doo.

Oh great, just what our office needs…a farting phone.

Just don’t tell my mom I said “fart,” okay?

I think we need to create a corps of cell phone enforcers who hit people with rubber chickens when their annoying ring tones go off …

My boyfriend recently put a death metal scream/growl ringtone on his phone. It’s quite possibly the nastiest, scariest thing I’ve ever heard. Nothing like a screaming banshee to wake you from your midday coma.

I am the person with the co-worker who has a rooster-crowing ring tone. I should also report that another co-worker has a frog croak ring tone. That guy’s been out of town since before the holidays so I was caught off-guard today when it started.
Please, no farts.

My cell phone rings with Bob Dylan singing: “I don’t care what you do, I don’t care what you say…”
